The Iranian government has responded to President Donald Trump's threat of "blowing up the whole country" if the regime fails to open up the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening."Iran's reaction would be one of reciprocating any such attack," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei said in a statement on Sunday afternoon. "Our armed forces have made it clear that in case Iran's infrastructure is attacked, we would react in kind."Baghaei said that if the United States carries out Trump's threat, Iranian forces would "target similar infrastructure that is owned or in any way or manner related to the United States or contributes to their act of aggression against Iran."Earlier Sunday, Trump told ABC News that if Iran doesn't strike a peace deal, including opening up the critical Strait of Hormuz, "we're blowing up the whole country."Also, in a post on his social media platform on Sunday, Trump said, "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!"The Iranian Mission to the United Nations also released a statement in reaction to Trump's statements, saying, the president "openly threatens to destroy infrastructure essential to civilian survival in Iran.""If the conscience of the United Nations were alive, it would not remain silent in the face of the overt and shameless threat by the war-mongering President of the United States to target civilian infrastructure. Trump seeks to drag the region into an endless war," the Iranian Mission to the United Nations said in a statement. "This is direct and public incitement to terrorize civilians and clear evidence of intent to commit war crimes."The Iranian Mission said the "international community and all States have obligations to prevent such atrocious acts of war crimes.""They must act now. Tomorrow is too late," the Iranian Mission's statement said.-ABC News' William Gretsky

Dexter Lawrence requests trade from Giants amidst contract standoff

Dexter Lawrencedoes not plan to be with theNew York Giantsfor theJohn Harabugh era.

Or, at least not under his current contract.

Lawrence requested a trade Monday, according to multiple reports (ESPN first reportedthe news).

A person with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed Lawrence's trade request to USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about Lawrence's request.

The three-time Pro Bowl (2022-24) defensive tackle started 17 games last season but registered a career low in sacks (0.5).

Lawrence signed a four-year, $87.5 million contract ($60 million guaranteed) – an extension of his rookie deal – in 2023. He’s scheduled to be a free agent after the 2027 season.

Lawrence won’t attend the first day of voluntary workouts April 7,per ESPN.

Drafted 17th overall in 2019 out of Clemson, Lawrence has anchored the middle of theGiants’ defensive line since. But New York has made the playoffs once since he entered the league.

Lawrence’s most productive campaign was 2024, when he tallied 9 sacks. But he suffered an elbow injury toward the end of the year and it affected him all of 2025,according to Giants general manager Joe Schoen.

"Nine sacks might been an outlier the year before, so the expectation rises," Schoen said. "That's rare for a nose tackle. That's insane for a nose tackle to get nine sacks.

"It's in there. He still has a lot of good years left. It wasn't just Dexter last year. I can't put anything on him. The expectation is for him to be on the team and to come back and have a really good season for us."

Father of 3 drowns while saving children from rip current during Florida vacation

A father of three died last week saving two of his children from a rip current while they were vacationing in Florida, family members and friends said.

Ryan Jennings and his family, from Maine, were on the beach swimming in Juno Beach on Wednesday afternoon, his wife, Emily Jennings, told NBC News. She was on the shore with their youngest daughter and niece building sandcastles, while he, their 12-year-old son and their 9-year-old daughter were in the water.

They were then suddenly caught in a rip current, she said.

Her son, Jax, ran to shore and said his dad and sister were drowning. Ryan Jennings threw their son and told him to swim to shore, while he held their daughter above his head so she wouldn't take in any water, Emily Jennings said.

"They already know that he was a hero. That showed through his actions and the way he made them feel," Emily Jennings said of her children. "I think that's why everybody that he knew, knew he was a hero."

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Ocean Rescue confirmed that lifeguards had a water rescue at 3:25 p.m. Wednesday near Juno Beach. Four people swimming in an unguarded area were brought to shore and taken to a local hospital. Conditions that day were “consistent with the potential for rip current activity.”

An incident report from the Juno Beach Police Department investigation confirmed that the Jennings family were rescued from the water. According to the report, the children told officers that they were struggling in the water when their father “came into the ocean to save them.”

Ryan Jennings was unconscious and being brought to shore when officers arrived. He was not breathing, prompting lifesaving measures until he was taken to Jupiter Medical Center, the report said.

He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

A rip current is a narrow channel of fast-moving water; it is different from a rip tide, which is specific to water moving through inlets and the mouths of estuaries, embayments and harbors,according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. An estimated 100 people die in rip currents annually, the agency said.

“This incident underscores the importance of swimming at guarded beaches, where trained lifeguards can identify hazardous conditions, including rough surf and rip current formation, helping to reduce the risk of incidents before they happen,” the rescue agency said.

Ryan Jennings’ mother, Gail McLaughlin Toti, thanked the first responders and medical personnelSunday on Facebookfor their efforts to save the family. She wrote that she would forever remember their kindness and compassion.

Emily Jennings met her husband while she was a single mom in nursing school. A month into dating, she said, her apartment burned down and Ryan Jennings insisted they move into his family's home.

They fell "absolutely in love," got married and had two more children, daughters Charlie and Bowie. Just a few weeks ago, Emily Jennings said, they learned she was pregnant with their fourth child.

"I don't want Ryan's legacy to be remembered for how he died, like, it has to be by how he lived," she said. "And he lived with kindness and love and selfishness and every interaction he had and in every decision that he made."

He is the love of her life, she added.

Ryan Jennings made people feel seen, his wife said, and was happiest with his family. He coached children's sports and made a safe space for neighborhood kids to know they could always be welcome, his wife said.

"I just think he was too good, like he was just too good for this world," she said.

A GoFundMe campaign started to help provide for her and their three children described Ryan Jennings as Emily's "soul mate" and a loving father. More than $167,000 had been raised for the family by Monday morning.

"His heroic actions are a testament to the kind of person he was, and his loss leaves a tremendous void in the lives of everyone who knew him," the campaign said.

Michael Carney, a friend,wrote in a tribute on Facebookthat Ryan Jennings grew up in Massachusetts but moved to Maine to raise his family after he met his wife 10 years ago.

"In an instant your family’s life had changed," he wrote. "We wanted you to know you’ll always be that hero."

Sha’Carri Richardson storms from scratch to a stunning Stawell Gift win

STAWELL, Australia (AP) — American sprint star Sha'Carri Richardson surged through the field Monday to win the Stawell Gift, an annual race contested on handicap over 120 meters on grass in a small Australian town near Melbourne.

Stawell Gift US Sprinters

In the 144th edition of the event, Richardson provided one of its most breathtaking finales as she started at scratch and caught the field at the 90-meter mark before pulling away for an astonishing win in 13.15 seconds.

"Just make sure I'm patient that first 10-meters like my coach today told me, and just executing the rest," Richardson told Seven Network television post race. "I think I realized I was gonna win right past 90."

The 26-year-old American, one of the fastest women of all time, is just the third woman to win the race from scratch and claimed a prize of 40,000 Australian dollars ($27,500).

Richardson won a silver medal in the 100 meters in the 2024 Paris Olympics, and gold in the 4x100 relay that same year. She also claimed the 100-meter title at the 2023 World Championships.

After a near calamity in the semifinals earlier Monday, where Richardson rose too soon and was almost pipped on the line, the American made no errors in the final, chasing down the field early and running through the line powerfully.

She celebrated with fans before embracing boyfriend and former world champion Christian Coleman, who was the marquee name of the men's draw. She and Coleman remain in a relationship despite adomestic violence chargeagainst Richardson last July.

"This is one of the most exciting, fun, and entertaining track meets I've ever ran in, not even just that, but the love, the true love and support for track and field, unbeatable," she said.

Coleman misses men's final

Former 100-meter World Champion, Coleman failed to qualify for the men's final after finishing sixth in his semifinal earlier Monday with 12.48 seconds. Only the winners of the six semifinals for both the men's and women's division qualified for the respective finals.

Both Richardson and Coleman raced from "scratch" meaning they were required to run the entire distance and chase down opponents, which proved too much of a gulf to bridge for Coleman, despite him closing the gap appreciably in the latter stages of his heat.

"Yeah, it is what it is, but I mean, I gave it everything I got, like you said, they're great athletes, so when you're giving up that much of a margin, I mean, it's pretty tough," Coleman said to Seven Network television.

Australian Olufemi Komolafe won the men's Stawell Gift ahead of Jake Ireland and Dutchman Liam van der Schaaf.

Semifinal scare for Sha'Carri

Earlier Monday, Richardson powered through the field to win her semifinal by just 0.007 seconds after she leaned back at the finish allowing local Halle Martin to almost steal the race in a photo finish.

"I feel like I am having a great time, but also working on race pattern, me and my coach Dennis Mitchell staying calm, executing, and running through the line," Richardson said after the semifinal.

In Saturday's heats, Richardson, who gave away 10 meters to her closest competitor at the start, won her heat in 13.815 seconds Saturday and Coleman his in 12.681.

There are more than 700 competitors in the Stawell race, including many of Australia's top runners, in the event held about 235 kilometers (145 miles) west of Melbourne.

It has not been disclosed whether Richardson or Coleman have been paid appearance money to take part in the race. Last year Australian media reported that top Australian sprinterGout Goutwas paid 50,000 Australian dollars (35,000) to run at Stawell, where he was eliminated in the semifinals.
